Surviving a Tribulation Failure and Collecting Disciples in the Mortal World

Shang Liang, the master of the Yuntai Sect, failed his ascension after using the remains of an ancient divine dragon to refine a magical artifact, the Dragon Soul Tower, causing his soul to transmi...

Chapter 258 Being Hunted Down

Shang Lin immediately looked up. Was this a prelude to attacking Qing Feng? Those four people who escaped would definitely investigate his whereabouts. If they couldn't find him with Situ Pojun, they would investigate at the auction house.

At that time, their names were written as Qingfeng Temple, so they went to find Yu Qingfeng. They didn't know if he was uncooperative and was captured and coerced by the other party, or if he used himself as bait to lure them in.

It's not that Shang Lin is to blame for thinking Yu Qingfeng is one of those four people's accomplices; rather, it was Situ Pojun's words, which both sides acknowledged regarding the exorcist, that reminded him.

Moreover, how long have Shang Lin and Yu Qingfeng known each other? They've only refined one pill, drawn one talisman, and attended half of an auction together.

At this moment, Situ Pojun looked at She Jinxing and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet. Not only will the demon cultivators in your sect be in danger, but you will be in even greater danger. They have seen you before, and the first people they will look for are you and Shang Lin."

She Jinxing immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, I underestimated humans." As for finding him, that's fine, but finding the sect leader is not.

Situ Pojun surprisingly remarked, "Still too young."

Shang Lin hurriedly called Huang Ying, "You all stay at Qiu Niang's house and don't go out. Even if something happens to them, don't rush in. Humans will solve human problems with human methods. You are the ones in danger now."

Although it is unknown whether the kidnapped quadruplets can find Huang Ying and Huang Li so quickly, exorcists must have extraordinary abilities in finding demons, especially since they have lost Xiao Bai. Would they not look for new prey?

Huang Ying looked at her phone with great confusion before asking, "Sect Leader, what happened?"

Shang Lin rarely acted domineeringly, "Do as I say, check the almanac. He's young and loves to play and move around. Fine, give him your phone, I'll talk to him."

Huang Ying handed her phone to Huang Li, puzzled. Had something terrible happened? Even the usually gentle sect leader had become incredibly serious.

Huang Li was confused after hearing Shang Lin's instructions, but he obediently agreed, "Yes, Sect Master. But Sect Master, I can hear you talking to Huang Ying on the phone, so you don't need to give me the phone."

Shang Lin was embarrassed; he had forgotten in his haste, but his tone remained unchanged, "Wait for me to come pick you up."

"Ah!" Huang Li was shocked. "You're coming?"

"Okay, wait for me."

Aside from personally taking them all into the Dragon Spirit Tower, Shang Lin felt there was no safer place. As for having She Jinxing, Chi Xie, or Hu Tangdi pick them up, he wouldn't feel comfortable with either of them, since they were all demon cultivators.

Besides, they need to leave one person to protect Old Man Chai and two people to search for Yu Qingfeng's whereabouts. Since those people specialize in hunting demonic beasts, they must have their own methods, so they need to be careful.

As for letting Huang Ying and Huang Li come back on their own, haha, do you want to kill them?

This was the first time Huang Li had ever felt that the sect leader was so terribly serious, so he responded somewhat woodenly, "Oh, okay."

Situ Pojun disagreed, saying to Shang Lin, "At a time like this, you still want to go out? They might find you soon, or lure you into their trap."

Shang Lin smiled slightly, "Since this is the result whether I go out or not, why can't I go out? Besides, the two cubs are still outside, I can't just leave them there. I'll be going now."

"Wait a minute." Situ Pojun suddenly produced a black umbrella. "Take this. It can help you exorcise evil spirits when necessary, and it can also prove that you have a connection with the underworld. Anyone who can consider things after death will not make things too difficult for you. Of course, it may not have a deterrent effect."

Shang Lin took the black umbrella. "Thank you."

Before leaving, Shang Lin took out his phone and made a call, this time to Hu Tangdi, "We have some things to take care of here. You guys go eat, be careful, and try not to go out."

Hu Tangdi was startled. "What happened?"

“The four people I brought back from the auction have run away. They are professional exorcists who specialize in hunting intelligent demons and spirits. I’m going to pick up Huang Ying and Huang Li now, and then go to rescue Yu Qingfeng, who was implicated by me. You should talk to Old Man Chai about it, so that the three of you can reach an agreement and avoid panic if there is any real danger.”

"I understand, Sect Master, please be careful."

"As long as you are alright, I am alright."

"good."

Shang Lin packed a few boxed lunches nearby and headed straight to the neighboring city. While eating in the car, he said, "Looks like I have time. I need to refine some fasting pills. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome if I didn't have any when I needed them."

Red Scorpion silently appeared on the back seat, and Shang Lin handed him two boxes directly, "You missed our dinner party, just grab something to eat first."

She Jinxing, who was driving, said, "We can take the fasting pills, but Sect Leader, you should forget about it. Your health is not good to begin with, and you are still growing, so you can't be careless."

Shang Lin glanced out the car window. "How many hours will it take us to get there?"

She Jinxing glanced at the navigation. "It takes more than three hours. It will be faster once we get on the highway."

Shang Lin said regretfully, "Unfortunately, the teleportation talisman I drew can't teleport cars. And if I only teleport people, I can't be sure if they'll ask me to meet them somewhere?"

After saying that, Shang Lin slapped his forehead again. "Damn it, I completely forgot to ask Situ Pojun about the basic situation of that demon-slaying sect! I'll call him now." Sure enough, concern makes one lose their composure, and he was no exception.

Red Scorpion took Shang Lin's phone, saying, "You eat yours, I'll make the call for you."

Shang Lin was taken aback. This rebellious little scorpion could be so considerate? It's truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Just as Red Scorpion's call was answered, the car was bumped and veered sideways to the side of the road. She Jinxing jerked the steering wheel and quickly swerved back onto the main road. He glanced at the rearview mirror and decisively accelerated.

Situ Pojun's worried voice immediately came through the phone, "Shang Lin, what's wrong?"

The incident happened so suddenly that Shang Lin barely managed to steady the unfinished lunchbox before it fell on him. He quickly closed the lid and put it back in the bag, while responding to Situ Pojun's words, "They must be being chased."

Although it was only a short sentence, Shang Lin's tone was completely calm, as if he were saying, "The weather is really nice."

Situ Pojun was getting anxious. "You always say you want to believe in science, but have you ever thought about the dangers your cell phone might pose? Throw it away right now."

What's the point of throwing it away now? But Shang Lin cooperated perfectly, saying, "Okay. I called you to ask about that demon-slaying sect. I need to know what kind of enemy I'm facing."
